characteristics of Royal Handwriting.


Those who have received letters from the
queen, and their number is great among
literary men and women, know that her
majesty writes firm, angular-and, indeed,
almost mascuIine-hand Occasionally it is
somewhat illegible, but, as a rule, the queens
caligraphy is clear and distinct. The queen
uses plain cream-laid note paper, with a
narrow black border. Her private letters are
such as any well-educated lady would pen,
and any one who had not been Informed as
to their authorship, and who did not see the
superscription and signature, would not
guess that they We're the queens
OF late years Sir Henry POnsonby has
written most of the queens letters. Still, a
letter from the queen, with a portrait of
herself and Prince Albert, has been received
by many, in whom or i'll whose work her
majesty takes interest, during the last twenty
years. The queen always signs letters
"Victoria r."
The Prince of Wales Is not in the ordinary
sense of the word good writer. His calig-
raphy would not commend itself to the mer-
chant OF accountant. But, for the matter of
that, neither Gladstone nor Lord Salisbury
is a very Iegible penInan, and as for Lord
Halsbury, the present lord chancellor, his
letters are quite iIlegible to the uninitiated.
So bad y his writing, indeed, that he gener-
ally uses a typewriter.
But if the Prince of Wales writes badly the
princess atoncs for his shortcomings in this
respect, for her letters mi ht be placed before
every girls school III the country as models
of feminine caligraphy. 1T is not the monot-
0nous round ard upright or Workmanship
ing" writing SO much affected by the girl of
the period 1t is clear, artistic hand of
the old school-I'id Bits.

Anecdotes of Mr.. Justice Bradley.

Mr.. Justice Bradley of the supreme court is
frail, slender man, something like Mr..
Evarts, but without that persuasive, intense
style which makes Mr.. Evarts power before
a jury He is somewhat quick tempered,
and a number of good stories are told at his
expense. Once he went into a lawyers office
in New York and borrowed new legal work
for reference, but finding several advertising
passages inserted at the end where the index
should have been, he tore them out in disgust,
saying: "They amt law, and no man has a
right to force his wares upon you"
On another occasion, when he was going
from Newark to Trenton to argue a case,
his wife stopped MIN at the door and begged
him to go up stairs and put on new pair of
pantaloons in place of the old ones which he
had on He reluctantly did SO, but when he
hurried to the depot he was moment or two
late for the train. Returning to his house,
he went up stairs, put ON his old pantalOons
again, and taking the new ones which had
caused the trouble he tore them into half q
dozen pieces without saying a word-Ben:
Perley POore.

For the Chestnut Bell Ringers.

1t is not to be expected that the class of
people who shout the meaningless slang,
chestnut" or still more silly, dingle a toy
bell which they carry with them whenever
they hear remark which they imagine is not
brand new, will pay much heed to quotation
from Goethe. But there are others of intelli-
gence who are affected by the incessant cry
for novelty that may read with profit the fol-
lowing reflections by the great philosopher:
"People are always talking about originality
but what do they mean? As soon as we are
born the world begins to work upon us, and
this goes on to the end. And after all, what
can we call our own, except energy, strength
and will? IF l could give an account of all
that owe to great predecessors and conten-
poraries there would lie bat a small balance
in my favor. Boston Transcript

salt water to smother Flames.

Salt water, in the opinion OF an old fire
man is what prevented the flames on the
board walk at Atlantic City ono Monday
evening from spreading much beyond the
structure where the fi1e broke out, and
the results seemed to prove the truth of
his declaration. Although the burning
was surrounded by lightly-built frame

No Concessions Have Been or Will be
 Made to the Men.
 BOSTON, Feb. 9.-The directors of the South Boston street railway met this after noon and again determined to make no con- cession to their striking employees. No cars left the stables of the company to day. A mass meeting of citizens was held at Gray s Hall to night protesting against the insuffi- cient accommodations furnished by the road. The officials of the road claim that they can not meet the demands of the men without increasing expenses to rninous extent, es- pecially in view of the recent severe losses of this company by the dedication of it's treas urer. It is reported that they have declared their intention to sink the whole property rather than submit to change which will necessitate it's being run at continual loss. The road is making strenuous efforts to hire new men and if such thing is possible an entire new force will be put on in the place of the men who have gone out. It is not generally believed, however, that the road can accomplish this. It is said that the eln ployes of the other roads aIe each giving up one days pay week for the benefit of the South Boston strikers It is said that John c. Short, who successfully managed the re- cent strike on the Consolidated road, has ad- vised the Cambridge road employees not to strike just yet The officials of the Cam bridge road say that whatever the employees decide to do their action will remain un- changed

 of James c. Matthews to be recorder of
 deeds for the District of Columbia was made
 public to day in conformity with the remov-
 al of the secrecy by the Senate The greater

Among the protesting documents are an editorial from the Daily Troy Telegram char acterizing Matthews as the worst kind of an | offensive partisan, a report of the Columbia | Democratic club on it's position on home | rule and letter from J.

FOUR LIVES LOST.

ReartrendinG Scene At Saybrook
 Point-A Mother. Her Child And Two
 Sailors Meet A Watery Grave
 SAYBRooK, Feb. S.-An accident by which four lives were lost by drowning oc- cured this afternoon between enc and two o'clock. A schooner from East Lyme named the Charles H.. Daley, loaded with stone for the breakwater at Saybrook Point, passed along on the south side of the break water in place where the water was very rough and where many heavy pieces of ice were clashing noisily together. The cap tain of the schooner was John Crowley. The force of the ice was so great that the vessel could not withstand it, and it was not long before the vessel Was cut partially in two. Something must be done, as the schooner was sinking. A yawl was lowered and the crew of three sailors, the captain and his wife and little child got into it. The vessel gradually sank. A hold was kept on the schooner by those in the yawl, however, as they thought by their signals that somebody on land might see them and come to their assistance. The vessel filled with water more and more and when she be- gan to sink they found to their horror that a rope fastened the two boats together. Moth ing could now be done. It was a heartrend- ing scene to see the mother with her little child and the father, one knowing that noth- ing could be done to save the other. Each must make one last struggle for life in face of numberless obstacles which must be cer- tain death for some of them.
 brave struggle was made and their sig nals of distress were seen, but to no purpose. The mother and her child went down, with two of the sailors, never more to be seen alive The captain and one of the crew managed to hold on to spar of the vessel ashore overcome by the cold. Stimulants were administered and they soon revived.
 It was not more than two hours later when Mrs. Crowley's body was washed ashore. The other bodies have not been recovered.
